Old-school Americana vibes in rural Pennsylvania

The story of Boyertown, Pennsylvania, began over 300 years ago with the founding of the United States. Boyertown is built over large reserves of iron ore and was one of the primary sources of the material for the colonies during the Revolutionary War. Today, Boyertown represents everything old-school Americana, with a Western-style downtown, little league baseball fields, and cozy residential townhouses all tucked away into rural Pennsylvania. Boyertown is located between the third and fourth largest cities in the Keystone State; Allentown and Reading, with Philadelphia lying 50 miles to the east and Pottstown 8 miles to the south.

Cozy townhouses or red brick homes

Nineteenth-century eclectic townhouses line the streets of downtown Boyertown. Colonial window frames, Gothic ornaments and Queen Anne towers adorn the outside of homes and family-owned shops alike. American flags fly above autumn flowers and corn husks laid across white porch steps. Mansard roofs and Classical-style banking buildings with large Greek facades are also a common sight. Outside of the downtown area, traditional Colonial-style houses set across grassy lots can be found. The Appalachian terrain is hilly, and most houses feature a driveway and mature foliage. House prices range from $150,000 to $350,000, with few homes exceeding $400,000. A recently sold three-bedroom split level house closed for $315,000 and is representative of the average house outside of the downtown area.

Family-owned shops and railroad rides

Boyertown was originally named Colebrookdale after the 1800s railroad line that transported iron ore to Pottstown. The railroad is still alive today, and on the weekend, residents can board a trolley that takes them through the downtown and into the Pennsylvanian countryside. The trolley passes a multitude of family-owned shops, like The Book Nook or Patsy’s Potpourri of Gifts along Philadelphia Avenue. The Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles is a favorite among locals and features carriages, trains, classic American cars and military vehicles. The newly installed Fire Department exhibit has a bright red 1950s firetruck that is emblematic of the town’s old-school feel. The Iron Stone on Philadelphia Avenue serves up classic American dishes like St. Louis pork ribs and hand-cut steaks from Pennsylvanian cattle.
